...A voice? Am I dreaming?
The boy lay there, being slowly consumed by little white flakes. His attention arose once more when he felt cold being wiped off of his body. He opened his eyes slowly, and tried to make out the figure through his dazed eyesight.
"...T-Tori...? Is it... really...?"

And behold, text!
Tori looked at Abel sadly. "Don't worry, I'm here...." She stopped and looked around. "I can't heal him, it might take to long...and he's already freezing cold!..." She stopped her inner monologue and hooked her stave back onto her handy-dandy belt. She gently slid her arms under his, then wrapped her arms around his body. "A-alright, Abel, I'm going to lift you to your feet so we can walk together, alright?"
Tori slowly lifted herself to her feet, bringing him up with her.
When they were on their feet, she took his arm and put in on her shoulders, to give him support, then she made her way back to the main street.
That is all.

xxxxx"If you're worried about surviving, xxxxxxxyou can worry about it after you're dead!"
"The wyvern riders of Bern sit atop the heap of all other forces on the continent!" xxxxx "You will see our power soon!"
Vaida continued deeper into the town. Not many monsters were still in this main town, it seemed for some reason. Still, howls and shrieks could still be clearly heard nearby. Paused paused and looked up at FEF castle. It was the same old castle, and yet it was different as well... though Vaida couldn't fully comprehend why. For some reason the snow on the rooftops made it seem sinister, rather than peaceful.
Suddenly, a crash from a nearby house erupted and debris scattered, leaving nothing of the house behind. A giant bael emerged from the smoke, followed by a horrific shriek, destined to send any average person running.
"...Well s**t."
At the entrance of the town, closer to where Tori was, mauth doogs appeared, after chasing down a mogall. They feasted upon it, thoroughly, then looked noticed a new prey.
(Action commence!?)

A mysterious cloaked figure phased into existence, invisible, behind Vaida. Only those intensely connected to light magic-- bishops-- could even sense his presence, and to them he was felt as a terrible, splitting, crippling migraine that could bring them to their knees in an instant.
He smiled at the dogs. They wouldn't be enough to handle this group, no... they would surely die. He almost felt sorry for them. Almost.
The dogs didn't have to worry much about Vaida, though. A seething mass of something began to push up from under the snow, first seeping, then rushing upward. The smell was awful as the mass began to rise higher like a wave, pulsing. It was like an enormous bubble of rotting human flesh.
The merged remains of many revenants killed by humans and by the blizzard. Now they were a single merged creature made of fetid flesh and wicked claws. Slowly the whole mass swung to one side, crashing against a building then it rushed to the other side. It was higher than the rooftops now, and it rolled right over and crushed a house before slamming itself against an enormous belltower.
The Mauthe Doogs were staring up at this spectacle in some mix of confusion and stupidity while the flesh began to twist itself around the tower, crawling up the stone and joining itself with it. The mass was finding itself a host around which to create a new body.
Arms began to form from the sides of the mass around the tower, armored with chunks of stone from the tower itself, claws swept back from the arms and extending several yards from the tips of its massive clawed fingertips. Legs began to form as well, similarly armored and beweaponed with claws and stone. The mass of flesh pushed outward beneath the bell, forming a gigantic mouth and a pair of wobbling yellow eyes, like beaten egg yolks. They blazed with rage as it opened its mouth to reveal mismatched, gigantic teeth, and suddenly its legs pushed against the ground and the clock tower rose up.
It took a step.
DONG...
It took another step.
DONG...
It leaned down and swept out one of its massive arms, sweeping up the cowering pack of Mauthe Doogs, and it tossed them into its jaws.
DONG... DONG...
It turned toward the sound of battle across town, by a blue tent, and started toward the sound, crushing houses as it went. Whoever that beast was moving toward was in grave danger.
DONG... DONG... DONG... DONG...

xxxxx"If you're worried about surviving, xxxxxxxyou can worry about it after you're dead!"
"The wyvern riders of Bern sit atop the heap of all other forces on the continent!" xxxxx "You will see our power soon!"
Vaida looked up so see a massive monstrosity form together. It was twice the size of the insignificant bael, that was now unnoticed. After completely forming, it moved a leg. Vaida [DID A BARREL ROLL] jumped out of the way, just in time.
"What the hell is that?!"
The creature's donging sound continued as it made its way over the village, not through, and headed elsewhere. Vaida was quick to try and pursue it, but the little bael had sat there long enough, eying its prey. It went to strike, but was not the fastest of creatures and was easily blocked by Vaida's spear.
"Bah! Away with you, monstrosity!"
The wyvern lord parried and slashed at one of the legs and continued the slash, as she went beneath it. Vaida ended up behind the beast, with her back to the castle wall.
Just then, a thief ran out of the castle, through one of the holes in the wall. Though FEF kingdom was typically home to good people, nobody is free from the sinful nature of man. When commotion comes, the pillagers wake up and scrounge the lands, however they can. The thief seemed to have been lucky, as it carried a full pack on his back. The bael turned around and spotted the weaker prey, then let out a hissing roar, that emitted drooling venom from its spider-like fangs.
Horrified by the monster, the thief fled, as fast as his [low level] thieving legs could carry him. Unfortunately for him, one cannot run while being so heavily packed down with loot. The bael struck the thief in the back and pulled him in. The thief yelled in desperation, but it was no use. The bael injected him with venom. The thief dropped his pack. It was over. Having captured one of its prey, the bael turned back to Vaida, who had been watching. She was not amused.
"I've had enough. Your fun is over!"
The wyvern lord raised her mighty spear and slash at the bael's first leg, then twirled it around and slashed another, cutting them both clean off. The bael staggered, and fell after losing its balance. It let out another hissing roar, as it fell. Vaida walked slowly up to it and scoffed.
"...You picked the wrong meatball to hunt."
With that, Vaida plunged her spear into the bael's head end ended it. The wyvern lord then walked over to the bag that the thief had carried and opened it. Inside were various healing items, and even a set of daggers. Miscellaneous funds were scattered without. The most interesting item that got Vaida's attention was a dracoshield. Clearly, this thief had made his way into some sort of little treasury room ad could only carry this much back with him. Vaida smiled, as she took the bag, claiming it for herself. She turned around to look at the castle one more time. There was something wrong about it. She wasn't too sure how the thief had gotten into it, but it was apparent that nobody could simply walk in. Icy shielding seemed to have appeared in places, preventing easy access. Vaida decided that it was not time to go there, yet. She walked off to wear Tori was.

And behold, text!
"Vaida-sama!" Tori called out, dragging her friend along with her. "Vaida-sama, we need to find a place to go!"
She looked around, seeming kind of paranoid. "A-Abel could die from being too cold...or he might be wounded. And I'm sure there's some sort of safe haven around here." She looked at Vaida sadly. "And I'm sure everyone has to be somewhere. ...They couldn't have killed them all...."
That is all.

"...Pffft. I don't give a s**t about that kid. He was the weak one that got his a** kicked!"
Vaida looked at Tori's face; into those big eyes. What was it about them? Vaida may never be able to figure it out for herself. She sighed.
"..Fine. The castle isn't accessible right now. We'll go to Fefga Manor. But you're the one who's going to take him. I'm not carrying him! Got it? I'll deal with any monsters."
Vaida swooped her spear and rested it on her shoulder.
"Let's go then."
